Aaron Klotz 3511d1f8a2 cmd/tailscaled, net/dns, wgengine/router: start Windows child processes with DETACHED_PROCESS when I/O is being piped
When we're starting child processes on Windows that are CLI programs that
don't need to output to a console, we should pass in DETACHED_PROCESS as a
CreationFlag on SysProcAttr. This prevents the OS from even creating a console
for the child (and paying the associated time/space penalty for new conhost
processes). This is more efficient than letting the OS create the console
window and then subsequently trying to hide it, which we were doing at a few
callsites.

Fixes #12270
